[[13 best answer to each question. Answer all questions following a passage on the basis of what is stated or im lied in [hat passage. The use of heat pumps has been held back
largely by skepticism about advertisers’ claims that
heat pumps can provide as many as two units of
thermal energy for each unit of electrical energy
used, thus apparently contradicting the principle of
energy conservation. Heat pumps circulate a fluid refrigerant that
cycles alternatively from its liquid phase to its
vapor phase in a closed loop. The refrigerant,
starting as a low-temperature, low-pressure vapor,
enters a compressor driven by an electric motor.
The refrigerant leaves the compressor as a hot,
dense vapor and flows through a heat exchanger
called the condenser, which transfers heat from the
refrigerant to a body of air. Now the refrigerant.
as a high-pressure, cooled liquid. confronts a flow
restriction which causes the pressure to drop. As
the pressure falls, the refrigerant expands and par-
tially vaporizes, becoming chilled. It then passes
through a second heat exchanger, the evaporator,
which transfers heat from the air to the refrigerant,
reducing the temperature ofthis second body of
air. Of the two heat exchangers, one is located
inside, and the other one outside the house, so
each is in contact with a different body of air:
room air and outside air, respectively. The flow direction of refrigerant through a heat
pump is controlled by valves. When the refrigerant
flow is reversed, the heat exchangers switch func-
tion. This flow-reversal capability allows heat
pumps either to heat or cool room air. ’ Now. if under certain conditions a heat pump
puts out more thermal energy than it consumes in
electrical energy, has the law of energy conserva-
tion been challenged? No, not even remotely: the
additional input of thermal energy into the circu-
lating refrigerant via the evaporator accounts for
the difference in the energy equation. Unfortunately, there is one real problem. The
(40) heating capacity of a heat pump decreases as the
outdoor temperature falls. The drop in capacity is
caused by the lessening amount of refrigerant mass
moved through the compressor at one time. The
heating capacity is proportional to this mass flow
rate: the less the mass of refrigerant being com—
pressed, the less the thermal load it can transfer
through the heat-pump cycle. The volume flow
rate of refrigerant vapor through the single-speed
rotary compressor used in heat pumps is approxi-
mately constant. But cold refrigerant vapor enter-
ing a compressor is at lower pressure than warmer
vapor. Therefore, the mass of cold refrigerant—
and thus the thermal energy it carries—is less than (5)

pumps: in extremely cold climates—where the
most heat is needed—heat pumps are least able to
supply enough heat. 17. The primary purpose of the passage is to (A) explain the differences in the working of a heat
pump when the outdoor temperature
changes (B) contrast the heating and the cooling modes of
heat pumps * (C) describe heat pumps, their use, and factors
affecting their use - (D) advocate the more widespread use of heat

pumps run counter to the principle of energy con‘
servation by ‘ (A) carefully quaiifying the meaning of that prin-
ciple (B) pointing out a factual error in the statement
that gives rise to this question (C) supplying additional relevant facts (D) denying the relevance of that principle to heat

(D) outdoor temperatures hold steady
(E) the heating demand surges If the author‘s assessment of the use of heat pumps
(lines 1-6) is correct, which of the following best
expresses the lesson that advertisers should learn
from this case? (A) Do not make exaggerated claimsabout the A
products you are trying to promote. (B) Focus your advertising campaign on vague
analogies and veiled implications instead of

strain the prospective client‘s ability to
believe. (D) Do not assume in your advertising that the
prospective clients know even the most ele—
mentary scientiﬁc principles. (E) Concentrate your advertising ﬁrmly on ﬁnan-
cially relevant issues such as price discounts

more widely if (A) they could also be used as air conditioners (B) they could be moved around to supply heat
where it is most needed (C) their heat output could be thermostatically con—
trolled (D) models with truly superior cooling capacity

a genuine drawback as a (A) causa for regret (B) sign of premature defeatism (C) welcome challenge (D) case of sloppy thinking (E) focus for an educational campaign 00 ON 'To THE NEXT PAGE. All of Francoise Duparc's surviving paintings blend
portraiture and genre. Her subjects appear to be acquain—
tances whom she has asked to pose; she has captured
both their self—consciousness and the spontaneity of their
everyday activities, the depiction ofwhich characterizes
genre painting. But genre painting, especially when it
Bortrayed members of the humblest classes. was never
bopular in eighteenth~century France. The Le Nain
brothers and Georges de La Tour, who also chose such
themes, were largely ignOred. Their present high standing
is due to a different, more democratic political climate
and to different aesthetic values: we no longer require
artists to provide ideal images of humanity for our moral
edification but rather regard such idealization as a falsifi-
cation of the truth. Duparc gives no improving message
and discreetly refrains from judging her subjects. In brief.
her works neither elevate nor instruct. This restraint
largely explains her lack of popular success during her
lifetime, even if her talent did not go completely unrecog-
nized by her eighteenth-century French contemporaries. 24. According to the passage, modern viewers are not
likely to value which of the following qualities in a painting? (A) The technical elements ofthe painting (B) The spontaneity of the painting (C) The moral lesson imparted by the painting (D) The degree to which the painting realistically
depicts its subject (E) The degree to which the artist’s personality is
revealed in the painting 25. Ifthe history of Duparc's artistic reputation Were
to follow that of the Le Nain brothers and Georges
de La Tour, present-day assessments of her work
would be likely to contain which of the following? (A) An evaluation that accords high status to her
work (8) Acknowledgement of her technical expertise
but dismissal of her subject matter as trivial (C) Agreement with assessments made in her own
time but acknowledgements of the excep-
tional quality ofa few of her paintings (D) Placement of her among the foremost artists of
her century (E) A reclassification of her work as portraiture
rather than genre painting 26. It can be inferred from the passage that the term 199 “genre painting" would most likely apply to which
of the following? (A) A painting depicting a glorious moment of vic-
tory following a battle (B) A painting illustrating a narrative from the
Bible (C) A portrayal ofa mythological Greek goddess (D) A portrayal of a servant engaged in his work (E) A formal portrait of an eighteenthwcentury
king r , The argument of the passage best supports which of the following contentions concerning judgments of
artistic work? (A) Aesthetic judgments can be influenced by the
political beliefs of those making the judg-
ment. (B) Judgments ofthe value of an artist’s work
made by his or her contemporaries must be
discounted before a true judgment can be
made. (C) Modern aesthetic taste is once again moving in
the direction of regarding idealistic painting
as the most desirable form of painting. (D) In order to be highly regarded, an artist cannot
be solely identified with one particular kind
of painting. (E) Spontaneity is the most valuable quality a por
trait painter can have. GO ON TO THE NEXT PAGE. Directions: Each question below consists of a word

the best answer to each question. Answer all questions following a passage on the basis of what is stated or implied in that passage. Mycorrhizal fungi infect moreplants than do any
other fungi and are necessary for many plants to thrive,
but they have escaped widespread investigation until
recently for two reasons. First, the symbiotic associa-
tion is so well-balanced that the roOts of host plants
show no damage even when densely infected. Second,
the fungi cannot as yet be cultivated in the absence ofa
living root. Despite these difﬁculties, therehas been
important new work that suggests that this symbiotic
association can be harnessed to achieve more economi-
cal use of costly superphosphate fertilizer and to permit
better exploitation of cheaper, less soluble rock phos-
phate. Mycorrhizal beneﬁts are not limited to improved
phosphate uptake in host plants. In legumes, mycor-
rhizal inoculation has increased nitrogen ﬁxation -
beyond levels achieved by adding phosphate fertilizer
alone. Certain symbiotic associations also increase the
host plant’s resistance to harmful root fungi. Whether
this resistance results from exclusion of harmful fungi
through competition for sites, from metabolic change
involving antibiotic production, or from increased vigor
is undetermined. 17. Which of the following most accurately describes
the passage? (A) A description ofa replicable experiment (B) A summary report of new findings (C) A recommendation for abandoning a difﬁcult
area of research (D) A refutation of an earlier hypothesis (E) A confirmation of earlier research 18. The level of information in the passage above is
suited to the needs of all of the following people
EXCEPT (A) a researcher whose job is to identify potentially
profitable areas for research and product
development (B) a state official whose position requires her to
alert farmers about possible innovations in
farming (C) an ofﬁcial of a research foundation who identi-
ﬁes research projects for potential funding (D) a biologist attempting to keep up with scien-
tific developments in an area outside of his
immediate area of specialization (E) a botanist conducting experiments to deter-
mine the relationship between degree of
mycorrhizal infection and expected uptake
of phosphate 210 19. It can be inferred from the passage that which of
the following has been a factor influencing the
extent to which research on mycorrhizal fungi has
progressed? (A) Lack of funding for such research
(B) Lack of immediate application of such research
(C) Lack of a method for identifying mycorrhizal
fungi .
(D) Difﬁculties surrounding laboratory production
, of specimens for study 7
(E) Difﬁculties ensuing from the high cost and
scarcity of superphosphate fertilizers
20. The passage suggests which of the following about
the increased resistance to harmful root fungi that some plants infected with mycorrhizal fungi seem to
exhibit? (A) There are at least three hypotheses that might
account for the increase. (B) An explanation lies in the fact that mycorrhizal
fungi increase more rapidly in number than
harmful root fungi do. (C) The plants that show increased resistance also
exhibit improved nitrogen fixation. (D) Such increases may be independent of mycor-
rhizal infection. (E) It is unlikely that a satisfactory explanation
can be found to account for the increase. GO ON TO THE NEXT PAGE. In the early 1950’s. historians who studied pre- ; . industrial Europe (which we may deﬁne here as
Europe in the period from roughly 1300 to 1800)
began, for the ﬁrst time in large numbers, to inves-
tigate more of the preindustrial European popula—
tion than the 2 or 3 percent who comprised the
political and social elite: the kings, generals, judges,
nobles. bishops, and local magnates who had hith-
erto usually ﬁlled history books. One difﬁculty,
however, was that few of the remaining 97 percent
recorded their thoughts or had them chronicled by
contemporaries. Faced with this situation, many
historians based their investigations on the only
records that seemed to exist: birth, marriage, and
([5) death records. As a result, much of the early work
on the nonelite was aridly statistical in nature;
reducing the vast majority of the population to a
set of numbers was hardly more enlightening than
ignoring them altogether. Historians still did not
(20) know what these people thought or felt. One way out of this-dilemma was to turn to the
records of legal courts. for here the voices of the
nonelite can most often be heard, as witnesses,
plaintiffs, and defendants. These documents have
acted as “a point of entry into the mental world of
the poor." Historians such as Le Roy Ladurie have
used the documents to extract case histories, which
have illuminated the attitudes of different social
groups (these attitudes include, but are not conﬁned
to, attitudes toward crime and the law) and have
revealed how the authorities administered justice. It
has been societies that have had a developed police
system and practiced Roman law, with its written
depositions, whose court records have yielded the
most data to historians. In Anglo-Saxon countries
hardly any of these beneﬁts obtain, but it has still
been possible to glean information from the study
of legal documents. The extraction of case histories is not, however,
the only use to which court records may be put.
Historians who study preindustrial Europe have
used the records to establish a series of categories of
crime and to quantify indictments that were issued
over a given number of years. This use of the
(45) records does yield some information about the nonelite, but this information gives us little insight
into the mental lives of the nonelite. We also know
that the number of indictments in preindustrial
Europe bears little relation to the number of actual
(50) rriminal acts, and we strongly suspect that the rela-
tionship has varied widely over time. In addition,
aggregate population estimates are very shaky,
which makes it difﬁcult for historians to compare
rates of crime per thousand in one decade of the
preindustrial period with rates in another decade.
Given these inadequacies, it is clear why the case
history use of court records is to be preferred. (5) (10) (25) (30) (3 5) (40) (55) 211 The author suggests that, before the early 1950’s,
most historians who studied preindustrial Europe did
which of the following? (A) Failed to make distinctions among members of
the preindustrial European political and social
elite. (B) Used investigatory methods that were almost
exclusively statistical in nature. (C) Inaccurately estimated the inﬂuence of the
preindustrial European political and social
elite. (D) Conﬁned their work to a narrow range of the
preindustrial European population. (E) Tended to rely heavily on birth, marriage, and
death records. . According to the passage, the case histories extracted by historians have (A) scarcely illuminated the attitudes of the political
. and social elite (B) indicated the manner in which those in power
apportioned justice A (C) focused almost entirely on the thoughts and feel-
ings of different social groups toward crime
and the law (D) been considered the ﬁrst kind of historical writ-
ing that utilized the records of legal courts (E) been based for the mom part on the trial testi-
mony of police and other legal authorities . It can be inferred from the passage that much of the early work by historians on the European nonelite of
the preindustrial period might have been more illu-
minating if these historians had (A) used different methods of statistical analysis to
investigate the nonelite (B) been more successful in identifying the attitudes
of civil authorities, especially those who
administered justice, toward the nonelite . (C) been able to draw on more accounts, written by
contemporaries of the nonelite, that described . what this nonelite thought (D) relied more heavily on the personal records left

true of indictments for crime in Europe in the pre-
industrial period? (A) They have, in terms of their numbers, remained
relatively constant over time. (B) They give the historian important information
about the mental lives of those indicted. (C) They are not a particularly accurate indication
of the extent of actual criminal activity. (D) Their importance to historians of the nonelite ' has been generally Overestimated. (E) Their problematic relationship to actual crime
has not been acknowledged by most his-

a European city in one decade of the ﬁfteenth cen-
